The Other Woman In My Life

The Other Woman in My Life
 
There are two women in my life now; I don’t know how it happened, 

It was as though one day I awoke to notice her in my life 
They are as different as night and day,

The first is mature with short brunette hair and 
The second is sassy with long blonde locks 

The first is not built like the second, more sturdy and rounder than 
The second who is slim and slender with those shapely legs 

Though I absolutely love the first 
It is the second that makes my heart race 

Each day the first makes sure that I eat my breakfast and fusses over me 
The second seems to barely notice that I am alive 

Every day the first woman tends to my every need from laundry to dinner 
The second woman seems to take me for granted as though there were others like me. 

The first greets and hugs me after a long hard day 
The second simply walks away. 

Some day when I am older than thirteen 
I will have to tell Mom about that other teen 

The one that takes my breath away and makes me want to stay after school 
Is the one that I seem to have in every vivid dream 

So sorry mom for my big rush 
I’m in a hurry to work on my crush.
